The Barn Cats to perform

The Community Room at the Jackson County Public Library will come alive with country music when the Barn Cats Old Time String Band performs at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 21. Their repertoire includes country blues, bluegrass and honky-tonk style music. Most of the songs they will play were popular in the rural South during the 1920s and 1930s.

Driving rhythm, melodic musicality and tight vocal harmonies are trademarks of a Barn Cat performance. This is music to dance to or just sit back and enjoy.

When not touring with the Freight Hoppers, The Barn Cats perform daily, April through November, for the Great Smoky Mountains Railway in Bryson City.
